The food tasted good; He Tiantian ate very well today.

No one experienced any culture shock or discomfort while abroad; everyone adapted very well.

In this way, they are in good condition, which helps them to devote themselves fully to training and achieve good results.

After having lunch at 6:30, everyone rested for a while before going to the meeting.

When the meeting was held, Ambassador Li, the Chinese ambassador to Spain, came with his assistant, and the meeting was chaired by Head Coach Wu.

The Chinese national swimming team and the ambassador to Spain should come, especially since he was the one who facilitated the sponsorship of the national swimming team by patriotic overseas Chinese.

He can provide benefits to the athletes without spending his own money, which is one of his achievements.

Later, these athletes will say that the 1986 World Championships were held in Madrid, Spain, where Ambassador Li sent them gifts.

Although his political achievements are not particularly significant, they sound good to others.

Ambassador Li gave a speech to encourage everyone and brought out the sponsored items for the athletes.

The male athlete wore a stylish men's watch, while the female athlete wore a very exquisite women's watch. Although not very expensive, they were from a local brand that was very popular among young people in Spain, and the designs were unique and attractive.

Next, we had Spanish specialty red wine, as well as some other Spanish specialty small parts.

He Tiantian also received one, but she didn't mention that it was sponsored by her parents.

"Sister He, this watch is so beautiful." Xie Feifei took it out and put it on her wrist.

"Yes, it looks very nice." He Tiantian nodded. "But the competition is coming up soon, so let's wear it after the competition."

"That's right, the watch will break if it gets wet." Xie Feifei took it off her wrist and carefully put it away.

Xi Rongrong and Liu Yihua also cherished it. Although athletes also receive salaries, those salaries are very low, so how could they afford such things?

I hope that after this competition, I can get some prize money and rewards to improve my family's situation.

Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang had already put the watches on their wrists and were very fond of them.

Even when she saw He Tiantian, Jiao Lihong had no intention of making fun of this old woman.

The next day, in the morning they went to check out the competition venue, and then went to the designated location for training.

The third day was the opening ceremony.

The Chinese delegation is larger this year than in previous years.

Because of the Western blockade, the outside world doesn't know much about China. Participating in sporting events is a great opportunity to showcase China's charm to the world.

This is why, despite her advanced age, He Tiantian achieved excellent results and had the potential to win a gold medal. Despite opposition, Head Coach Wu insisted on having her participate in the competition.

Except for the World Junior Championships, which have age restrictions, other competitions do not have age restrictions.

As long as you swim fast, nothing else matters.

Head Coach Wu glanced at He Tiantian, hoping that she could break the Chinese swimming team's zero-gold-medal record at the World Championships.

He Tiantian's five senses were very strong. She looked at Coach Wu, smiled, and said that she would do her best.

He Tiantian has signed up for seven events this time.

Freestyle swimming: 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and 1500 meters.

Another event is the breaststroke, 100 meters and 200 meters.

Finally, there was the 400-meter freestyle relay, which was a team event.

The first runner was Xie Feifei, the second runner was Yu Jingjing, a female athlete under Coach Wang, the third runner was Jiao Lihong, and the fourth runner was He Tiantian.

Jiao Lihong originally wanted to swim the last leg, because that was the most crucial moment before the end, and winning the championship would make her stand out from the three people ahead of her.

However, considering the overall situation, Coach Wu still placed He Tiantian last and Jiao Lihong third.

Jiao Lihong was not satisfied and even went to Coach Wu to make a scene.

Head Coach Wu immediately told her that this was a team competition, and if she did not follow the instructions, she should not go up, so as not to bring her emotions to the competition and affect the overall score.

Jiao Lihong was naturally unwilling to be replaced. She couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.

The match has begun.

From the initial draw to the group stage, He Tiantian unsurprisingly advanced as the top seed in her group.

Xie Feifei, Xi Rongrong, and Liu Yihua also achieved good results.

Xie Feifei and the other two didn't know much about the foreign athletes, but they thought that by following Sister He, they would get one step closer to winning a medal.

Bai Qiongyu, He Jingyu, Wang Shuping, and He Doudou watched almost every match He Tiantian played and cheered her on.

The finals have finally arrived.

Head Coach Wu was moved to tears as he looked at the list of finalists.

A total of twelve athletes made it to the finals.

There are seven female athletes and five male athletes.

He Tiantian's performance, in particular, dazzled all the coaches.

Every project is number one.

Oh my god.

Even if we don't win every event, winning half of them would still break the zero record.

Head Coach Wu patted Zhu Zhitao on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Zhu! Two of your athletes have made it to the finals."

"It's all thanks to the head coach's keen eye and excellent guidance," Zhu Zhitao said with a smile, feeling incredibly pleased.

Among female athletes, He Tiantian has the best results.

Although he didn't play a significant role in guiding He Tiantian, that doesn't matter. Xie Feifei did indeed make great progress under his guidance.

"Hehe, you've got a good way with words." Head Coach Wu chuckled. "Go back and encourage He Tiantian and Xie Feifei to try and win the championship."

"That's a must," Zhu Zhitao nodded. "We will definitely prepare for the competition in the best possible condition."

He Doudou cheered for her sister every day, and her voice became a little hoarse.

However, every time he sees his older sister, he gets completely carried away.

The 100-meter freestyle race is about to begin.

In this project, only He Tiantian made it to the finals, where she faced seeded players from other countries.

In the fifth track, He Tiantian looked rather short compared to the group of tall foreigners.

At the beginning of the preliminary rounds, He Tiantian's figure was already criticized by many people, who thought that China had no one left to rely on.

Hearing what was being said around her, He Doudou was so angry that she wanted to fight those people.

My older sister is amazing; she didn't let He Doudou down.

The older sister's repeated first-place finishes have refreshed everyone's perception of this petite Chinese woman, leaving them in awe.

When her sister entered the finals, He Doudou ran up to the man who had previously criticized her sister and said, "My sister may be short, but she is full of strength."

In He Doudou's heart, his older sister is omnipotent and amazing. Anyone who says his sister is no good is his "enemy"!
